It seems like everywhere is asking for my ID multiple times and there are multiple international companies involved.

I thought the whole point of blockchain was decentralised so why can't I just buy btc without jumping through a thousand hoops?!?

I tried using bisq but it seems more geared towards traders and you need btc to buy btc :(

any help would be appreciated.

Those who are self hosting at home, what case are you using? (Looking for recommendations)
  • So I recently went through all of this headache. I started really wanting hotswap that didn't look like it was from the 90's. I also needed like 8 drives capacity which rules a lot of the popular cases out.

    I thought about it for a while and I don't really touch the drives at all on any of my previous Nas builds so that meant I didn't need hotswap.

    Eventually I decided that rather than try to hide the case away I would make it a feature of my living room and I went with the tower 500 and I really love it and everyone that has gone over has mentioned how cool it looks

    Poor video playback quality on Kodi
  • It's interesting but I've not had any performance issues running Kodi on anything from a fire tv to a Chromecast to windows to Linux (Ubuntu). I don't run a ton of plugins but the ones I do work almost flawlessly most of the time.

    I will say that a couple of years ago I moved to using the jf server connected to Kodi and that seems to be the best of every world. I get the Kodi interface (jf didn't have themes and it is still really unintuitive to me) and I get a single repository for my multiple clients.

    All of this is to say that perhaps Kodi isn't as bad as you think it is just because you had some issues with your install.

    Discord users are cancelling their Nitro after new mobile layout update
  • I mean they've broken the app for me. After about 15 minutes the message window won't refresh regardless if I change channels or servers. Notifications take me nowhere so I need to go find the event myself. I'm only a light user so I'm sure there is more. It's not just because it's different, I actually like the new UI better.

    Pi-Hole Local DNS Record Spamming Query Log
  • Could this be because you've set the forwarded address to be insecure in the reverse proxy essentially doing SSL termination at the reverse proxy? To test this theory, set the destination local address to also use https not just http

    Help: Limited volume range on Google TV
  • I have a Bravia XR65X95K and a Denon receiver. I've got it set so that I control everything with the Sony remote. There is a little lag when changing the volume but it's always in sync if that makes sense. I'm not at home but I can show my settings later if that helps. Maybe post yours and I can tell you what's different.
